Was it a team blessing by a buddhist monk, sent by the club's Thai owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, that helped seal Leicester City's fortunes as winner of the English Premier League? Or was it good luck brought on by the city's connection to a Middle Ages-era English King, Richard III, which gave the side a remarkable boost this season? Richard's remains were reburied last year, just 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) from the club's ground, and just as the club's fortunes started to turn around. Those are just two of the theories that are doing the rounds following the "Foxes" spectacular achievement, which was confirmed on Monday evening when Spurs held London rivals Chelsea to a 2-all draw. The reaction to Leicester's title win led to a massive spike in traffic to social media from the UK.

Leicester City have fired Claudio Ranieri, the man who guided them to their historic Premier League title. The Foxes were 5000-1 to win the Premier League at the start of their title-winning campaign last season, and produced one of the greatest fairytales in sporting history. But the Foxes have endured a woeful defence to their crown, dropping to 17th - just one point and one place above the Premier League relegation zone. The Italian was fired less than 24 hours after a 2-1 defeat by Sevilla in the Champions League. In a statement, Leicester said the board "reluctantly feels that a change of leadership, while admittedly painful, is necessary in the club's greatest interest." "This has been the most difficult decision we have had to make in nearly seven years since King Power took ownership of Leicester City," vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said. "But we are duty-bound to put the club's long-term interests above all sense of personal sentiment, no matter how strong that … [Read more...] about Leicester City fire Premier League winning coach Claudio Ranieri

The Leicester City story reached its jubilant crescendo on Monday as thousands turned out to revel in the side's Premier League success. Leicester, who started the season as 5,000-1 outsiders to win the league, confounded pundits and fans by clinching the title. The achievement came as richer rivals such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur fell by the wayside. The side, which spent a fraction of the amount on players as some of its rivals and which was nearly relegated last season, won the league by a clear 10 points . An estimated 100,000 fans packed the city streets to hail the side's stunning win, with Leicester coach Claudio Ranieri also there to soak up the celebrations. The club said it thought as many as a quarter-of-a-million people had turned out to celebrate. "The city is here. It's something special. I'm very glad," Ranieri told broadcaster Sky Sports. "This is because the team played with their soul and their hearts. The people understood this. "It's … [Read more...] about Leicester City parade Premier League trophy through city

The allegations came in a report published in this Sunday's edition of the "Sunday Times" and a documentary aired by German public broadcaster ARD. Both quoted London-based Dr. Mark Bonar as claiming to have prescribed banned drugs to 150 sports figures. Although no names were mentioned, Dr. Bonar was quoted as saying that he had prescribed doping substances to players with three Premier League clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester City. All three have issued statements denying the allegations. "Leicester City Football Club is extremely disappointed that The Sunday Times has published unsubstantiated allegations referring to players from clubs including Leicester City when, on its own admission, it has insufficient evidence to support the claims," England's Premier League leaders Leicester said. "The claims The Sunday Times put to us are false and entirely without foundation," said Chelsea's statement, while Arsenal said it was "extremely disappointed by the publication of these … [Read more...] about UK doctor claims to have doped 150 athletes, including Premier League players
